See a hockey game in Boston

There are so many things to do in a teeming metropolis like Boston that it can be difficult for holidaymakers spending time there to narrow down their to-do list and come up with a manageable itinerary.

However, one fantastic way of really getting a taste of the local culture that is pretty much unparalleled in the US is to head out to a hockey game.

Boston University has long since established itself as one of the top collegiate hockey programs in the country.

Indeed, its 2011 to 2012 team earned the top spot in the NCAA West Regional, finishing with no less than 23 wins under their belt.

On January 19th, the team will be going toe-to-toe with Umass Lowell - and this should be a riveting match that cannot be missed.

Those who are staying at the Millennium Bostonian Hotel Boston will find that they can get to the venue in less than 20 minutes if they jump in a cab.
